SCOTTISH TUC general secretary Grahame Smith called on the labour movement yesterday to ensure that the general election campaign highlights working people’s interests.
Speaking to the Star ahead of the STUC annual congress next week, he said the event would give trade unions a chance, ahead of the election, to set an agenda that will deliver for working people.
Mr Smith called on the movement to “make sure the general election campaign is not solely about constitutional matters but also focuses on class issues which affect working people in their everyday lives.”
